The Coalition receives $100,000s every year from fossil fuel companies. Its MPs routinely question climate science and have always backed coal and gas.

Raising nuclear now is not a serious policy contribution. It is a way to keep the climate wars going for as long as possible.

I've been very worried about the proliferation in vape use and the perception that they are harm-free and risk-free

The Tobacco industry has been funding and promoting false information that #vapes are harmless

Further, promoting their products to children and young people

On 22 December the sun set at 15.48.

Today the sun set at 16.07.

We've gained 19 mins' more light & we're gaining around a minute extra per day.

Look at the branches of a tree against the remaining light. That's a fractal. Seeing it alleviates stress.
